Reviews
This CD caters for all the things you like in music. If I have to fault Where’s Jerome it is simply that; this listener wants more tracks. A brilliant album debut that you should go out and get.
Mess and Noise, A.H. Cayley www.messandnoise.com/releases/2000464 - Nov 2009
This is a band that seems able to elevate the rather simple structure of pop songwriting to an art – and this album is a Kandinsky...
Time Off Magazine - Where’s Jerome 2009 (RiSH Records/MGM)
It’s hard to pick standout tracks (apart from the amazing ‘I Never Lose’, that is), because they all complement each other so well.
Faster Louder -Where's Jerome, Birmingham Hotel, Melbourne (16/10/09) Gig Review by distantsun007
...what’s not to like here? Where’s Jerome have a lighthearted nature about
them, with an obvious enthusiasm for their craft that’s a pleasure to
experience....headliners Where’s Jerome took the chocolates tonight. And I took home their album. A win/win situation for all involved.

The self-titled bomb of slinky indie bloom has landed just in time for
spring – WHERE’S JEROME’S debut album is awash with melodic sunbeams and
razor-sharp pop weirdness.

With only three members, in a geometrical sense, the band stands tall as a
triangular shape. Quite different from any of the mainstream music that
receives airplay on the radio waves, Where’s Jerome definitely have an
alternative feel which could see them having play on stations like Triple
J. Where’s Jerome have tasted success and are on their way to becoming a
force on the music scene.

Single Review "into the Ocean"
Guitar chords roll out before the emphatic entry of the drums. From the
get-go, Into The Ocean sets out as a euphoric musical journey of exciting
great pop-rock led by an outstanding vocal track. These Sydneysiders are
on their way.
SOSUEME - Fri 7th Nov 2008 - inthemix.com.au
A sinfully exciting crossbreed of synth-lectric psychedlica and slammin’
pop tunes, Where’s Jerome manage to work both the plastique fantastique of
Casio-tone and the harmonic equivelant of the B-52’s making jiggy with
Trent Reznor. Hot.
DRUM MEDIA - LIAM CASEY (issue 22/01/08)
Dear Where's Jerome, I think I love you. I fell in love with you as alive
entity, while a little surprised by how electronic your debut EP is, you
have perfectly balanced organic and artificial instrumentation. My
favourite track is Rescue: the boy-girl harmonies, the acoustic guitar
riding the downright funky bassline, the flourishes of synth an plucked
strings. Ashtray makes me dance something crazy. Sure, the faux Radiohead
moodiness of Karma Confused is a bit old hat, but overall, your prog-pop
is mature, catchy and thoughtfully arranged.
BEAT MAGAZINE MELBOURNE Single Review By Simone (issue 16/01/08)
"Ashtray"
Bedroom electro pop producer Jeremy Smith has grown his band to include
sister Alex, best mate Todd and a new record deal. Lead track from the
Dreamboat EP, Ashtray is simple after with super-strong vocal character,
subtle arrangement and a superb melody, sounding something like Elastica
with a boy at the helm. Cute and slick.
DRUM MEDIA'S Bands to Watch for 2008 WHERE'S JEROME? Drum Media (Issue
25th Dec 2007)
In our list of bands to watch in 2008. that's where. These Sydney
Electropop kids have wooed a serious amount of Drum writers over a year of
just quietly going about their business, sending tracks to FBI and
sticking 'em up on their Myspace page. They're playing the Purple Sneakers
NYE party at Manning House, incidentally, if you fancy being converted in
the live arena!
The Sandringham Hotel Newtown "The Sandpit" 30/10/07 LIAM CASEY Drum
Media, Live Review - 6/11/07
Aah! this is more like it: keyboards! With drums and guitar completing the
ensemble, imagine forcing The Human League and The Dresden Dolls onstage
together - pretty amazing right? Where's Jerome? are like that:
melodramatic and quirky pop, with a likeable British feel. The material
was most notably held together by Todd Cetin's drumming, which recalled -
no joke - Yeah Yeah Yeah's Brian Chase. Elsewhere, it was acid-tongued
lyrics and kazoo- driven bridges all round. There are a few rough edges of
course, but this band comes with the writer's seal of approval: guaranteed
to be really quite good.
Annandale Hotel, 21/11/07 Ross Clelland - Drum Media
Meanwhile, Where's Jerome? is a collaboration which surprisingly hadn't
happened earlier. Jeremy Smith, whose band Altona seemed pretty close on
the basis of some good Triple J airplay, finally got around to linking
with the sometimes theatrical leanings of his keyboardist sister,
Alexandra Sabastian, she of Midnight Hysteria and good shoes. The music
had some perhaps unexpected twists. A bit of early Floyd whimsy ran into
some new wave choppiness, while Motorway had some Mott glam stomp to it.
There's even a kazoo.
DOM ALESSIO - FBI RADIO PRESENTER "Who The Bloody Hell Are They"
http://whothehell.net/archives/777
No photo and a cryptic name like Where’s Jerome?. So who the hell is this
guy? Well, it’s actually Jeremy Smith, better known for his vocal and
guitar work in Sydney outfit Altona. With the help of a computer, an
acoustic guitar and the must-have Casio keyboard, Jeremy’s crafted himself
a number of rather endearing tunes that marry acoustic guitar and clear
vocals with smooth, funky electronic backings.
He’s compiled them altogether into an EP entitled Dreamboat (hence the
illustrations I guess). The first single ‘Ashtray’ floated onto my lap the
other day and I was so taken by it, mainly because I had never heard of
the outfit before. Judging by the bio, Jeremy’s other passion is food: the
bio is filled with refernces to cooking and the kitchen and writing songs
in his kitchen.
There’s a couple of tracks on the MySpace page, and ‘Rescue’ was the only
one I could download, so here it is! Expect to hear a lot more courtesy of
Where’s Jerome? very soon.
